Thanks Backblaze for adding the forever hold feature! You helped prevent more victims of a very bad human.
I had to switch to elsewhere once hitting production, when doing thousands of async upload requests, some would randomly 403 on me. Their customers rep solution was to handle it on my side (yeah, I know) but it was easier for me to just switch providers.
I guess for other products Backblaze is good, but I wouldn't recommend their Backblaze B2 to other fellow devs, those nines of availability in difference are noticeable on the long run
I use BackBlaze to make sporadic, one time backups. I then disconnect everything - which is just 2 mirrored drives. These drives only contain important documents.
Can BackBlaze please not delete my backups if my drives are not connected for X days, even though I pay for the backups? It is very confusing to me, and actually pretty damn frustrating.
To be more clear, my backup solution is detailed here, where I recommend BackBlaze even: https://ecc-comp.blogspot.com/2020/07/backing-up-for-mortals...
Thanks!

Backblaze completely lost my wife's data several years ago due to a bug in their platform, then their support tried to gaslight her into thinking it was her fault. The actual issue is that their dashboard stored cached data and said files existed when they didn't, which was only discovered when trying to restore data to find it was all missing.
Working in video production, I know there are a lot of videographers and photographers "abusing" the unlimited nature of this service. It's not my business how BackBlaze does things, or if the usage falls within their acceptable use policy, but I see so many in my industry brag about the insanely cheap rates BackBlaze offers on their computer backup. From my armchair, it seems like a bunch of personal users subsidize…
There's always another possibility - they know what they're doing (manipulate users who subsidize their costs into supporting their cause) - but I hope the truth is they're simply clueless and don't understand economics.

I also wonder how many supporters of deficitary spending, UBI and Fed's activisim here can connect the dots and realize what causes these cost increases. I suspect not many.
